Unidentified carbs

[Howard]

Does anyone recognise these carbs. I inherited them from my father and want to find out what they are from so I can advertise them.

I think he told me that the one mounted on the wood board have never been used

Thanks

Hello Howard.

I see that one of the carb's has a brass plate on the dashpot - if you can say what the number is, I reckon we will be well on the way to ID the units.

Does it say 125 / 150 / 175 on the dashpot, which will help to cross reference ?? Looking at them they are either 125 / 150 I reckon.

Thanks.

Richard.

In answer to Mikey's comment my father had a very mixed bag of cars - ranging from Austin 7 based specials through A30's, Heralds, Imps and Skodas and built a Dunton so they could have come from almost anything.

Both are Zenith Stronbergs and the ones without the tag have CD150 engraved on the top. The ones with the brass tag have the number 033 on one line and 3278F or R on the second line.

I have a suspicion that he mentioned they were from a Roots vehicle.

Hello Howard.

These carbs are 150 CD-S units.

The information you have given confirms that they are for a Chrysler Avenger GT 1500cc (1970 - 71).

As you probably know the the F & R are for Front & Rear; so it looks as though you have a matching pair which will be attractive to someone with that vehicle.

Hope that helps ??

Thanks.

as Rootes  did things better than some you can use these on any Triumph with a CD150 stromberg
change of needle and a check on the spring, being Rootes spec they may have a biased needle and bottom adjuster a cross between the CD and CDS  CDSE
Avengers were right in the  Era for  changing developments for emission controls  
Each has its own choke starting valve so you would need to fit a Siamese choke cable to pull both at the same time or arrange some diy linkage.

note they have the brass  winter choke lever cam  adjustable stop so you can reduce choke travel in the summer   thats good.


certainly a good working base for fettling up for most  triumph with  CD150 and onward
